ASSEMBLING

The Assembling of the MOD24 is pretty like shooting fish in a barrel. The MOD24 comes shipped in two parts. The stock and the receiver assembly. Merely drop the receiver assembly into the stock and fix it with the 2 included 3mm allen screws.

Attention! Dont screw it to tight. Otherwise this may result in a feeding problem.

OUTER/INNER BARREL & HOP-UP ADJUSTMENT

The outer butt is fabricated of aluminum and has a prissy matt black finish. The outer barrel is not attached to the torso in the front end side of the MOD24 by any extra screws. Information technology does float freely. The result of this is that the barrel is a flake wobbling to the top, left and right side. This can be simple fixed with a cable tie or a small Velcro tape. The outer barrel is easily removable by one screw.

Inside the outer barrel works a 485 mm long precision 6.08mm inner barrel. The inner barrel is only holden by the hop-upward Unit and the muzzle cap. This perhaps has a negative outcome on the trajectory. Basically some barrel spacer would have been a squeamish extra. Modify also offers a hybrid 6.01mm precision inner barrel as an later on market part.

On the left side of the outer Barrel the hop-upwardly can easily exist adjusted to ones needs past moving the slider (similar to the VSR-x hop-upwardly system). This is a big plus since you tin can adapt the hop-up on the fly and there's no need for any allen keys or taking down parts of the rifle.

BIPOD MOUNT

MODIFY_MOD24_REVIEW_SNIPER_RIFLE_16

The available bipod mount on the MOD24 is made out of steel and works properly with our Harris bipod. The bipod stays deeply in place on the weapon.

Just a annotation: If you lot buy a bipod, don't buy inexpensive people's republic of china models. It's a waste of money because its fabricated by cheap Pot metal which isn't robust or durable.

MAGAZINE WITH LED UNIT

MODIFY_MOD24_REVIEW_SNIPER_RIFLE_07

The magazine holds upward to 30BBs and can be upgraded with a LED unit which is powered past 3 LR41 batteries. So Tracer BBs can be used for night games or at dark time.

ADJUSTABLE TRIGGER

MODIFY_MOD24_REVIEW_SNIPER_RIFLE_15

The trigger is adaptable with 2 screws. The first one is for the resistance of the trigger and the second one is to adjust the style. No demand to disassembly the complete airsoft gun.

Adaptable RECOIL PAD

MODIFY_MOD24_REVIEW_SNIPER_RIFLE_13

To accommodate the recoil pad use the big front wheel and fix it with the counter wheel. The used materials also here are very solid and durable. Well done!

STOCK

MODIFY_MOD24_REVIEW_SNIPER_RIFLE_10

The surface of the MOD24's polymer stock is nicely textured and feels solid. Equally yous can see on the pic some production-related imperfection at the end of the Stock. Simply there are no sharp edges or protruding burs. In the most cases the gun will exist painted anyways, so who cares!

The grip feels quite big, bigger than about sniper rifles I've held. Maybe I'm just used to small-scale grips or I but accept modest hands. In terms of ergonomics this is a litte downer for me because it allow'due south the rifle feel somewhat bulky.

Tip: Within the Stock in that location'south a lot of empty infinite which tin can exist filled with insulating material to forestall vibration and noise.

Rubber LEVER & BOLT HANDLE

MODIFY_MOD24_REVIEW_SNIPER_RIFLE_09

The cocking action is fast and polish. The safety lever snaps in clean. The safetly lever stays in place while cocking the gun. I've had bolt action rifles where the safetly lever jumped into the "safe" position after beeing touched during the cocking procedure and I had to remove the safe nearly every time I wanted to accept a shot.

PICANTINNY Top RAIL

MODIFY_MOD24_REVIEW_SNIPER_RIFLE_08

The solid picatinny peak rail is mounted with 4 screws. The coating of the rail already came off after mounting the telescopic multiple times.

INTERNALS & APS2 COMPATIBILITY

MODIFY_MOD24_REVIEW_SNIPER_RIFLE_05

Based on the APS2 system, Modify used well made, high quality internal parts.The steel cylinder houses a M150 leap equipped with a 9mm stainless steel spring guide and a lightweight aluminum piston with a rubber piston head and a Delrin ring at the rear end. The piston has a 90° rear end. Also the cylinder head is made out of stainless steel and seals the cylinder perfectly. As usual with Modify all internal parts are summit quality.

MODIFY_MOD24_REVIEW_SNIPER_RIFLE_04

Afterwards some enquiry, it seems that Modify took the Javelin/Snow Wolf M24 as a base of operations plate and redesigned various parts, peculiarly the trigger mechanism (added adjustability), the receiver/scope mount and the magazine (LED tracer unit of measurement).

This is a good thing – you can get a lot of spare parts, tuning parts etc. for this gun. The APS2 system is the 2d most pop bound organization on the market today – the VSR-10 is the most popular.

Attention: at that place are ii unlike versions of the Snow Wolf M24 – one is using VSR-10 parts the other one APS2 parts. When we are talking about the Snow Wolf M24, nosotros referr to the APS2 version all the time.The trigger machinery withal uses APS2 parts and sears, so aftermarket parts should fit.

The hop-up unit of measurement seems to be uniform with the various cnc chambers that yous tin purchase for the SW 24/Javelin M24 (AirsoftPro, PDI, Angel Custom etc.) but people are reporting that the APS2 bedroom won't fit since it's too small-scale in diameter. The piston, spring guide, spring and cylinder head are APS2 compatible, the cylinder seems to be a APS2 or Type96 cylinder – we tin can't proof this as we don't have a APS2 or a Type96 cylinder available at the moment.

CONCLUSION

Modify did an excellent job edifice the MOD24 and It's a welcome addition to the airsoft sniper marketplace. The build quality is smashing and considering the price of just arround 270USD, you become a lot of bang for your bucks. It's almost a steal considering the quality of the internal parts compared to other bolt action sniper rifles in this price segment like ARES, Male monarch Arms, Maruzen.

Beeing APS2 compatible, at that place are tons of upgrade and spare parts available and yous can modify the MOD24 to fit your needs. Speaking of upgrades: the internals of the MOD24 can handle powerful springs right out of the box so if you lot want to upgrade to 550 FPS, drop in a M170 leap, replace 9mm piston and 9mm spring guide and you lot're done – no need to supercede the trigger unit or trigger sears.

On the one hand the APS2 compatibility is nifty, on the other hand I would take designed the MOD24 to be VSR-10 compatible instead. The VSR-ten system is future-proof and as more and more manufacturers jump on the bandwagon, there will exist upgrade and spare parts availible over decades.

The Modify MOD24 is available in Germany at Sniper airsoft Supply and in Asia at WGC Shop.
